Two couples, fifty years apart, face the challenges of marriage, fidelity, and pregnancy. They inhabit the same small apartment in separate but similar times—times charged with political upheaval and intellectual controversy. Lauren Elkin’s Scaffolding is about the way our homes collect and hold our memories and our stories, about the bonds we create and the difficulty of ever fully severing them, about the ways all the people we’ve loved live on in us.
